Criminality Comitted on Children
MAŠÁTOVÁ, Hana
The topic of this theses is criminality committed on children. This problematic is more topical today, when society puts great emphasis on respect of human rights and freedoms of an individual. Particularly on an individual, who has limited possibility to protect its own rights and freedoms, i.e. a child. But of course during development of rights and freedoms on one side also occurs an extension of scale of possibilities of how to break those rights and freedoms on the other side, especially because of boom in internet and mass-media communication and easier migration among individual countries. Bachelor theses is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part summarizes information about given topic and about its current state. Current state contains information about how individual sources understand and explain the term ?child? and ?adolescent?. It contains also legislative norms, which govern and secure rights and duties of a child both on national and international level. Further chapters are focused mainly on summarizing of information about problematic of CAN syndrome, description of individual kinds and forms of CAN syndrome. Practical part is outlined by the target of this theses, i.e. to discover most frequent causes of criminal activity committed on children. The research itself was further specified by stated hypothesis. The research of this theses was quantitative and data collection was done by questioning methods with techniques of semi-structured questionnaire. Research file was chosen by purpose selection and continued with ?snowball? technique. For the research I chose research file of social workers, pedagogues, doctors and other specialized workers, who were in direct contact with this group during their everyday praxis and therefore they are well experienced in this problematic. From the results of the research it can be concluded that most of the workers experienced cases of neglected children. In cases of neglection appeared as a major cause socioeconomical situation in a family. Among interesting results we can count the one that shows that such a child usually comes from a complete family, but earlier researches and literature show different data. The second most frequently represented type of family was an incomplete family without a father. Among persons, who most frequently commit crimminal activities on children were indicated mothers and then men ? fathers or mothers mates. As most frequent causes for children abuse were indicated socioeconomical situation in a family, immaturity of custodial person ? especially from the perspective of intelligence and psychosocial frustration and then the fact that custodial person was himself/herself a victim of CAN syndrome.The next main discovery is the fact that even though corporal punishments are closely associated with our culture (deeply rooted in our culture), they didn't emerge as the cause in as many cases as I would expect. I think the explanation lays in two trends - parents are more supervised by the government and at the same time the way they raise their children is being compared with parents from different countries. Another explanation can be associated with the fact that emphasis on children's rights is growing in the last years as well as awareness among professionals such as doctors, psychologists, medics, or teachers Given that the criminality against children (CAN syndrome) is an extensive problem very relevant in today's world, there is still space for a deeper and more comprehensive research. However, mass media helps to increase the public awareness of this problem, I think it's still not enough and that more information about CAN syndrome should be spread to help to prevent the problem.
